Modern Trends in Europe and America; The Harlem Renaissance "Harlem Sweeties" by Langston Hughes
Flavor Harlem of mine! Walnut or cocoa, Let me repeat: Caramel, brown sugar, A chocolate treat. Molasses taffy,
Coffee and cream, Licorice, clove, cinnamon To a honey-brown dream. Ginger, wine-gold, Persimmon, blackberry, All through the spectrum Harlem girls vary So if you want to know beautys Rainbow-sweet thrill, Stroll down luscious, Delicious, fine Sugar Hill.
